We’re going to keep going back to raise awareness and plant seeds! People are still shocked when they find out what Charles River does. Their comment is always “but their sign looks so innocent!” That’s how evil is able to continue. Look innocuous and people won’t give you a second thought. We are out there to change that.

We hope you'll join us to hold vigil for all of the animals this evil company profits off of. They make money off of the pain and torture of innocent animals. These animals are truly the most silent victims. We are bringing awareness to the community - we are bringing the truth of what they do into the light.

***Please send us a message about parking if you plan to attend! We will send you photos of the parking situation.***

Charles River Laboratories (CRL) is the world’s largest breeder of animals for use in experiments. Half of all animals used in lab experiments are supplied by CRL.

They also conduct painful tests on animals for companies that produce industrial chemicals, pesticides, food additives, and pharmaceuticals. In these tests, the animals are force-fed test compounds, have experimental chemicals smeared onto their shaved skin, and are forced to inhale toxic substances. The animals may endure severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, convulsions, seizures, paralysis, and bleeding from the nose, mouth, and genitals before they ultimately die or are killed.

CRL is the second-largest importer of nonhuman primates into the U.S., bringing in thousands of monkeys who have been stolen from their homes in the wild or bred on decrepit monkey factory farms.

Our goal is to raise awareness and request that they change their model to non-animal testing methods. They are usually cheaper and more effective.

Unfortunately we had to cancel the vigil on Sunday, Jan. 20 due to a major snow storm so we are rescheduling the vigil for next Saturday, Jan. 26.

If you are not aware, at one of our recent vigils, some neighbors complained that our parked cars were making it dangerous for them to leave their driveways. It *IS* difficult to see the oncoming traffic when there are cars parked on the side of the road and the traffic on that stretch of road moves very fast.

We do NOT want to make our presence at CRL difficult for the neighbors so during our last vigil we tried having people park at the O&W Rail Trail parking lot. That worked OKAY but we have a BETTER solution!Through the generous offer of one of our members, we can park in the parking lot of their apartment building which is right near CRL.

NOTE: there is room for about 5-6 cars at the CRL site but once we think it’s getting too full, we will direct cars to the parking space (we will give you a map of where to park), which is in walking distance of the CRL site.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we figure this parking situation out!*****************************************************************************

***IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT PARKING***

At the last CRL event, we had a lot of people show up, which was AMAZING but it caused some problems for some of the neighborhood people trying to leave their driveways because of all the cars parked alongside the road.

It *is* hard to see oncoming traffic when there are cars parked next to the driveways and the traffic comes down that road *very* fast.

We've decided the safest and best thing to do is for people to park at a designated spot and have people carpool to the event site so there are a maximum of 3-4 cars parked at the Charles River site.

We realize people don't all come at the same time so you can park at this designated spot and contact us either through Facebook (Messenger) or we can give you our cell numbers so you can call or text us to let us know you are at the parking lot and someone will come and pick you up.

The parking lot is the O&W Hurley Rail Trail parking lot, located at the intersection of Route 209 and Russell Road.

We will be there at 11:50 and wait for 5-10 minutes then make our first trip to Charles River. There will be kinks to work out but we want to be courteous to the people living in the area while planting seeds so we appreciate your patience and understanding while we work all of this out.

June 3, 2018 will be the 8th National Animal Rights Day (NARD), and it will be celebrated in 30 cities around the world!

On this day, special National Animal Rights Day (NARD) events will be held simultaneously in major cities around the globe and Albany will be holding their 2nd NARD. We will start with a memorial ceremony for the billions of animals who die every year by human hands, and continue with the reading and signing of The Declaration of Animal Rights. We end with a celebration of the animals in our lives, and the steps that are being made every year towards ending animals' suffering and shifting the planet to a cruelty-free, plant-based, lifestyle.

For more information about NARD, see their website: http://thenard.org/

We will be participating in the ceremony and tabling as well. Hope to see you there!

We'll be tabling at the Albany VegFest this year! This is their 10 year anniversary. This landmark local event will feature a robust and varied lineup of speakers, vendors, a VIP lounge, free tote bags for the first through the door, and more.

Their aim is to bring together the global health benefits of green sustainable living, environmental awareness, and compassion for animals and all beings. Learn more: http://albanyvegan.org/

We're going back to La Granja in Harlem and we're teaming up with Brooklyn-Queens Animal Save and Chilis on Wheels!

Please join us! The outreach in this neighborhood is really good - we always have several excellent conversations.

Reminders: This is a peaceful vigil. We believe in empathy and compassion for all living beings, including people who are not yet vegan and those who work in the live market. We are there to plant seeds and nurture the seeds we've already sown.

If we are confronted by an antagonist, remember it is best to just ignore them and walk away. Things can escalate quickly and that is something we do not want. That is not why we are there.

We have posters and brochures, you... only need to bring yourself.

Awareness is the beginning of change. What we do is plant the seeds of awareness which will bring about change.

“When the suffering of another creature causes you to feel pain, do not submit to the initial desire to flee from the suffering one, but on the contrary, come closer, as close as you can to him who suffers, and try to help.” – Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom

Unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts, the next vigil will be an entire month after the last vigil. We will be trying to schedule our future vigils on Saturdays as well as Sundays and as always, try to schedule them every other week.
